    It's great. Took the gearing up, m2 exit and I was taking the pro rider there every year until I moved

    Just finished it today and got my M2. Great class, worth every penny. it caters to beginners but even those who've ridden learn new techniques. Good luck

    Re: Humber motorcycle safety course

    Another little tid bit of advice from me. I took the course as well (it was awesome)..

    Try and remember EXACTLY which bike you used in the previous day, each bikes clutch engagement zone is different, so if you get used to one, try and stick with it for the entire course, will make the muscle memory thing easier.. IMO.. good luck and have fun!!

    Like everyone else was mentioning, the course was fantastic, very helpful instructors. One of their suggestions, to prep for the rain was to put those plastic grocery bags around your feet, then put your boots on (if they're not waterproof) The bags would at least keep some of the water off your feet.

    If I were you people (who are taking the course this weekend), I'd be running to BassPro or similar places and getting rain gear like FrogToggs (overpants and jackets). If it will rain, you will get soaked without the rain gear. The course will still take place rain or shine, which is a good thing, because you will learn how to handle a bike in the rain (we had the same thing two years ago).

    Rain Suits great but don't forget your Hands

    Cold Ink Stained Raisins for hands are never fun

    This is some damn great advice. On the first day I had one with way better feel than the 2nd day, I was ****** when it got snared on me. I was hustling looking for it but there was no such luck.

    Weird comment. All courses are within like 50 bucks of each other, so to me personally the location and the quality of instructions (i.e. reviews) played major roles, not a few bucks one way or the other.

    My buddy and I both took the M1 exit course through Humber... It should be mandatory to take to get your M2... I've learned so much over the weekend... The only down fall is that the exit test is actually harder than the standard ministry test...

    Loads of fun, you'll love it! If your instructor is Sammy... Mention my name (randy skinner) and I'm sure you'll have a good laugh.
